TODO:

• Add a link on the home page / navigation
• Eventually add a header on the IRC page with the compsoc logo and a link to go back to the website(@AngusP ?)

Nice one.

So does this integrate within the existing site, or fills the entire screen kind of thing?

[hmaurer]

At the moment it's just a 100% height & width iframe. It would be nice to add a header but I think you need some javascript to make the iframe fill the rest of the page (or css3 flexbox / using a table?) => @AngusP

Don't we have a Raw HTML mode for making pages? If so, why not just embed via that?

[AngusP]

Just use markdown for everything as you can put raw HTML in there and it'll be fine

[hmaurer]

We could but then it won't fill the entire page.

elaborating on my quick reply:

@Emberwalker we could; but it is convenient to have the IRC client in full page, or at least full width. At the moment any CMS-based page has a sidebar, which leaves a very narrow container for the IRC client. We could add a show_sidebar boolean option on each page so that it can be disabled when convenient. I still think that the IRC client would be better full page though, with only a small header on top with the logo and a link back to the website.

[Emberwalker]

I could see a show_sidebar variable being useful.

[hmaurer]

@Emberwalker yep I think so too, even outside the context of this issue it's sometimes useful to make the content full-width. We should refactor the whole navigation system anyway; how's that coming along (tree-based thingy)?

[Emberwalker]

I'm not sure - I'll open a seperate issue for show_sidebar

What's up with this? The web-based IRC client is accessible at https://comp-soc.com/compsoc/irc; should we add a link somewhere on the website?

[AngusP]

Since when did that work?! :D. Probably will have to be hard coded into the navbar

It's now accessible as of 3814dcd

Perfect; re-open if something comes up on the topic.
